Abstract

Automatic document summarisation is the process of generating a summary of the original documents with the aim of shorter reading time. Sentence extraction is a widely adopted document summarisation technique by which relevant sentences are extracted from documents. The proposed system generates optimal summary by Genetic Algorithm-based sentence extraction strategy. Based on individual word weight and other sentence-specific features sentence score is calculated. To produce optimal summary fitness function is used. Machine-generated summaries are compared against human summaries using different measures. The experiment results show that the proposed approach is efficient and outperforms the existing approach.
